Council schedules follow‑up workshop on zoning‑code amendments; third reading deferred
Summary
Council's laws and ordinance committee continued a multi‑section revision to the New Franklin consolidated land use code and zoning map (Ordinance 26O03) and scheduled another workshop for Sept. 14 to finish section 3; members emphasized restoring a 14‑day notice provision and respecting planning‑commission timing rules.
The Laws & Ordinance committee continued review of Ordinance 26O03, an amendment to the New Franklin consolidated land use code and zoning map that is undergoing its third reading. Members said the ordinance contains substantial language and scheduled a follow‑up workshop for Sept. 14 at 6 p.m. in council chambers to address remaining items, including clarifying the number of notice days to residents and timing tied to the planning commission report.
Committee members discussed returning the public‑notice period to 14 days after earlier changes shortened it and underscored the statutory windows that govern hearings and effective dates (committee noted 30 days from approval for an ordinance to take effect and 90 days for certain action timelines). No final vote on the ordinance occurred; council asked staff to prepare a clear list of specific language changes for the next session so members would not need to read the entire ordinance aloud at the meeting.
